In the thick of it


Once we hit August 1st, there's no slowing down. Bottling August 22nd and harvest looming, it's all blending from one week to the next.

We enjoy entertaining, al fresco dining and living in the summer vibes - beautiful coastal hikes, grilling and flip flops everyday.


               



August is the start of Fall planning, we get our bottling done and start to visit the vineyards on a weekly basis. Definitely a late start as we had a very cool July.
Bohemian Vineyard, our coolest location and almost zero veraison August 1st.


  
  

Harvest - So far, we're estimating a vintage similar to 2023 with a cool July, late start to veraison & solid slow, long growing season = GREAT Vintage. By mid August we started see some color happening.


         



Recipe testing and vineyard walking....



Next up : event in the vineyard Labor Day weekend, Feast above the River Sept. 14th, Winemaker Dinner @ Trillium October 9th and Fall Wine Club!
Here comes the fun!
